The real problems for her are the mounting wheelchair gaffes.  That is Coakley level.  You don't tell your opponent that they don't understand struggle when they have been wheelchair-bound since age 26.  Why is she trying to look like more of a victim than someone who is paralyzed?  That's disgusting!  It's the kind of thing that could make a Republican in Texas lose.

She didn't say he doesn't "understand struggle", she said "his desperate attacks" prove he doesn't understand "these Texas stories of struggle." She was clearly referring to her own struggles. Granted Abbott understands personal struggle as a general thing very well but that doesn't mean he understands every kind of struggle there is. This sounds like a deliberate twisting of her words to fit the Abbott campaign pre determined narrative of where they want the convo to go... Namely, his disability.

The O'Keefes of the world will always be able to find dumb volunteers; no matter how good your people are, volunteers are by nature undisciplined. It has nothing to do with the candidate herself.

As for the bio, who cares? Story X doesn't seem materially different from Story Y, except perhaps the 19 thing, but I don't know enough about her life to say how accurate it was.
